Una Primavera

Documentary Film, AT/DE/IT 2018, 80 min, OmeU

Valentina Primavera’s story is an utterly personal
one: with a hand camera, the filmmaker
accompanies her mother back to Italy. After forty
years of a marriage, domestic violence, and silence,
her mother finally wants to leave her husband.
With unrelenting honesty, Primavera draws a complex
family portrait that is also telling in terms of
the structures of domestic violence. She takes a
remarkably brave stand against looking away.
